I have just noticed a problem with news article lock files (/tmp/L<artid>) hanging around. Someone happened to notice that news had started spewing out "Article locked" messages. What might be happening here? Multiple inews runs? I suspect we weren't having this symptom before because inews explicitly creates the files in /tmp, and I was doing the unpacking on another machine. So it was creating the files in //xds15/tmp and whatever else was looking at the files (expire?) was looking at //xds13/tmp. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
